<div class="sub">Introduction</div>
Welcome to <i>i</i>Scr<i>i</i>ptDes<i>i</i>gn. A website or application for scripted creations.<br>
I'm Jeroen and one of my hobbies is designing and constructing gadgets, and one of my problems is that nobody else wants them. 
There is a reason for that: one may argue that my designs are not that beautiful but I beg to differ. I think that nobody wants 
my creations because it simply does not fit in their household. Either cupboards are too small, 
there's not enough room between the sink and the cupboard or your couch is too high to fit under my sofa table.
<p>So instead of carving dimensions and sizes in rock, I decided to let you decide about width and height or other parameters. 
But there's more, I actually hope that you also start using this website for showing or even creation of designs. Below some bullets 
to make you start thinking.
<ul>
<li>Put dynamic dimensions into your design</li>
<li>Experiment with parameters and see immediately the online outcome.</li>
<li>Import existing designs from Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape.</li>
<li>Or create a new design (it's a sort of HTML but than graphical)</li>
<li>Add javascript to it, to eliminate boring repitative drawing</li>
<li>Use the same javascript to exactly calculate the position of your line's endpoints and the shape of your curves</li>
<li>Send off your creation to a laser or water cutter not worrying about sawing or copying your design on to the material</li>
</ul>
If one or more bullets above are appealing to you, have a look at this website. It's a work in progress and being comfortable with javascript, SVG 
or even HTML should allow you to be up and running in no time. For the others rest assured that the tutorial is my top most priority. 
Get back here often, or check out the code at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/iscriptdesign">http://code.google.com/p/iscriptdesign</a> </p>
The usability experience maybe below average in some aspects, I kindly ask you to feed it back to me, in a respectful way. 
As a work in progress <i>i</i>Scr<i>i</i>ptDes<i>i</i>gn will work in the majority of browsers but alas not for the major browser ie IE. 
Microsoft has also acknowledged this and this site should work for IE 9.
<div class="sub">How can I use it</div>
The first release comes with 3 templates, The actual links are in the menu, probably behind or left of this dialog. (the links in the list below will bring you to the source code of the respectively templates). 
<ul><li><a href="kruidenrondgang.jsvg">Spice Caroussel</a>. The infamous <a href="http://unlimiteddesigncontest.org/en/node/91">spice rack</a> check it out </li>
<li><a href="magicbox.jsvg">Magic Box</a>, a remake of the flash application which was my source of inspiration</li>
<li><a href="banktafel_lt.jsvg">Couch table</a>, a new design for a table over a couch</li>
</ul>
"Simply" pick your choice of the available templates and adjust the parameters for your own needs, press export, copy the text in the export dialog 
(all between and inclusive &lt;svg .. &gt; and &lt;/svg&gt;) and copy this text in a file ending with .svg (for instance spicerack.svg. 
Make sure that your editor or operating system does not add an 
extra extension). Now you can open this file in a SVG editor like Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape, adjust the scaling and 
make copies when you need more than one of a certain element. Now you can send your file to a (fablab) lasercutter or a watercutter.<p>
Have FUN!<p>
In case you want to learn more about SVG, you should have a look at <a href="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/svgprimer.html#coordinate">w3.org's SVG Primer</a></p>
